Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Fetch Fletch]

He won’t be committed if called upon.

It’s a very odd time to announce this.

What if we make the playoffs?

 

[KathyBatesHammer]

Neil’s been linked at moving

I wouldnt blame Neil one bit for wanting a move (if we dont go up).

Watson on the other hand, ridiculous.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Pleased with that fee, best of luck Tommy.

 

[nelford_safc]

That isn’t what’s happened.

Watson is a local lad that has been at the club since he was 6 year old and was immediately rewarded with a run in the first team until his injury. So how exactly this not what's happened?

 

[Coeus]

This money must be re invested.

Not really, means we don't have to use that stupid overdraft.

 

[SAFC11]

If anything now his contract is signed he may be more committed as he doesn't have to worry about injury putting another hold on the move

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Is this putting the idea that Le Fee will be on the left out there?

 

[Honess10]

It’s Sunderland man. 10 million it’s absolutely coppers. Would cost that to replace him with some journeyman champ player

Nobody is paying close to £40m for Neil

We wouldn’t get 40 million M&Ms for him.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Not really, means we don't have to use that stupid overdraft.

this will be complete “profit” as he’s home grown. I’m not exactly sure how that affects things mind.

 

[woodlebert]

On the one hand ten million seems very good money for a player who’s played less than 20 first team games and not done all that much in them. On the other hand, he’s a young lad that has a lot of potential. Overall I just feel we sell our players a bit cheap - if someone like Bellingham, Rigg or Neil goes for less than £40 million this summer, we’re doing something wrong.

Neil isn’t worth £40m and doesn’t look like he ever would be

 

[riffraff]

Adil isn't good enough.

We’re just seeing out the season atm. It’d allow Mundle to get just the correct number of minutes in. Looks like Enzo will be helping out on the left now.

 

[samsafc]

One of the reasons is we're good with young players. We develop players very well

Correct, but so are brighton at a higher level and pay more money.

 

[rubberface]

It's a bit f#cking metal that we're selling players before the season even ends though. Jobe to go next week?

There's absolutely no benefit to releasing this news now....its that piss poor that I'm actually laughing at wtf they were thinking in doing this on April fools of all days!

It's bonkers mate.

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

Oh fair play then maybe since the player has shown a stronger desire to leave then

From what I read on here of reports they offered 2 million last summer, then came in late with bids of 8 , then 10 then 12 million at the end of the window, but I think we agreed to the 12 million deal if we got one of their foreign wingers on loan (Can't remember his name but that player didn't want the move so we turned it down.

If he wouldn't sign a new deal as Speakman said they couldn't come to a deal then best for everyone to move on.

 

[hertsmackem]

Shouldn’t Tommy be addressing this as dear fellow Mackems?

 

[rubberface]

We’re just seeing out the season atm. It’d allow Mundle to get just the correct number of minutes in. Looks like Enzo will be helping out on the left now.

We can't just 'plod along ' again until the play offs.

 

[PTR]

Shame we won't get to see him develop. Seems mad to me to leave your home town club from 6 years old after only a handful of games, but money talks.
The elephant in the room is that he really hasn't proved himself yet, its a big risk imo.

 

[Rivet Catcher]

Should be nowhere near the squad for the run in.
